The last big GOG sale had a sort of catch-up day at or near the end where they brought back all the sales from the previous days. Hopefully they do something like that with this one, because I don't really want to stay up all night for the 90s.

GOG is releasing a client that aims to provide the benefits of Steam without the drawbacks -- it's optional and GOG downloads will still be DRM-free.

If you're thinking, as I frequently do, that you really should send some money GOG's way just because they love you, it turns out Witcher 3 is now available for preorder (the GOG version is currently priced at $54).

And $3 less per Witcher game you've already gotten through GOG. (Not a bad deal if your Witcher 2 came with a copy of Witcher 1.)

Looks like the GoG Galaxy is finally in open beta?http://www.gog.com/galaxyMaybe it was at time of Thad's posting and I just didn't notice it.

Bethesda joins the party. So Fallout 1, 2, and Tactics are back on GOG, along with Doom 1, 2, and Quake, Morrowind, Redguard, and Battlespire. You get Arena and Dagger free with any Bethesda purchase, which is sort of nice except that you can get them free on elderscrolls.com without buying anything.

Also, I mentioned that Grandia 2 just got a PC release; it's 25% off at GOG right now. Though if Valkyria Chronicles is any indication, I'd expect it to go on sale pretty frequently, so no hurry or anything.

So apparently the GOG Galaxy client currently doesn't work on Windows 10 and they have no idea when or if it ever will be. Several folks I know have run into the issue and when they email customer support the response received is:

One of my friends was even asked if he had a different computer to use for GOG. Ha.

Note that the GAMES themselves work - you just have to launch the .exe manually (though there are reports that the new alt + tab fucks you up if you use it while in-game) - but this is pretty funny, considering what GOG's business model is supposed to be.
